Comparing Cost of Living Around the World

In the last blog post we looked at how people lived in different parts of the world. Now we are going to look at more details about the Cost of Living around the world. This helps explain how far a dollar will go in different cities in the world. 

Numbeo is a website where you can look at different data from around the world.

    • Based on this information - explain which country you'd like to live in or visit. Explain why you chose that country. 
  • Pick 5 different countries and create a chart comparing one particular data point 
    • Put them in order from most expensive to least expensive
    • Based on this information - explain which country you'd like to live in or visit. Explain why you chose that country. 
  • Use the Cost of Living Comparison  to compare Pittsburgh to another city in the world. Take a screenshot of the comparison (similar to the one above) and write a paragraph comparing/contrasting the information on the two different cities.
